I customized the pi.dbfo-need template as you suggested and I’m
OK with the results.
I see your point about FOP not handling vertical space well.
However, there are times when dbfo-need comes in handy when trying to insert
soft page breaks before informal elements. Given the vertical spacing problems,
however, I’ll only use it when it’s absolutely necessary.

Jeff

The
feature was turned off for FOP 1.0 as of 1.76.1 because it did not work as it
should. I last investigated this issue in July 2010:
As
described in that message, the issue was incorrect management of vertical space
when using space-after.precendence="force". If that property is
now supported in FOP 1.0, then it should work. I don't have time to test
this right now. To turn it on for FOP 1, you will need to
customize the template named "pi.dbfo-need" in fo/pi.xsl to remove
the xsl:choose clause that excludes $fop1.extensions = 1. I'll be curious
to see what your results are.

dbfo-need processing instruction and FOP 1.0
Should
I expect the dbfo-need processing instruction to work with DocBook 1.76.1 NS
stylesheets and FOP 1.0?
I
previously used dbfo-need and it worked (somewhat) with FOP 1.0 and DocBook
1.73.2. Now it doesn't seem to work at all.
